Bright Eyes ~ The City Has Sex


The city has sex with itself I suppose As the concrete collides while the scenery grows And the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed Having undressed their wounds for each other And there's a boy in a basement with a four track machine He’s been strumming and screaming all night down there The tape hiss will cover the words that he sings But they say it’s better to bury your sadness In a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring To awake from its sleep and burst into green Well, I’ve cried And you would think I'd feel better for it But the sadness just sleeps And it stays in my spine For the rest of my life And I’ve learned And you’d think I’d be something more now But it just goes to show It is not what you know It's what you were thinking at the time This feeling’s familiar, I’ve been here before In a kitchen this quiet I waited for A sign or just something That might reassure me of anything close To meaning or motion, with a reason to move I needed something I want to be close to And I scream But I still don’t know why I do it Because the sound never stays, it just swells and decays So what is the point? Why try To fight what is now so certain? The truth is all that I am Is a passing event That will be forgotten more free lyrics

The city has sex with itself I suppose
As the concrete collides while the scenery grows
And the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed
Having undressed their wounds for each other
And there's a boy in a basement with a four track machine
He’s been strumming and screaming all night down there
The tape hiss will cover the words that he sings
But they say it’s better to bury your sadness
In a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring
To awake from its sleep and burst into green
Well, I’ve cried
And you would think I'd feel better for it
But the sadness just sleeps
And it stays in my spine
For the rest of my life
And I’ve learned
And you’d think I’d be something more now
But it just goes to show
It is not what you know
It's what you were thinking at the time
This feeling’s familiar, I’ve been here before
In a kitchen this quiet I waited for
A sign or just something
That might reassure me of anything close
To meaning or motion, with a reason to move
I needed something I want to be close to
And I scream
But I still don’t know why I do it
Because the sound never stays, it just swells and decays
So what is the point?
Why try
To fight what is now so certain?
The truth is all that I am
Is a passing event
That will be forgotten

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
